hey guys.

Im moving flat at the end of this month, and have been looking into which ISP supplier to go with. I'd like (ideally) a 2Mbps connection, but im not sure where to go (obviously i dont want to spend a fortune to have it), and was just wondering if you guys had any ideas????

I've been with NTL Broadband since the first month they set
it up, and have to say in over two years i've had one outage
which lasted a whole night, so not too many problems.....

Ok are you sure thats the only difference? i didnt know that was it, if it was i would recommend datastream over IPstream any day, if it is as you say
the ISPs who have unbundled the exchanges offer services unparalleled to BT, whereas anyone providing BT wholesale lines is limited to BT configuration (50:1 for home users, 256k upload, et all) the unbundled telcos have the ability to give you whatever they want! I know easynet unbundled exchanges at great cost to themselves, but they are capable of offering 8mb 1:1 adsl (very pricey ill admit) and there service has been second to none (far superior to BTs)

are you sure thats the only difference Jak? if it is then I have to say the unbundled ISPs offer far more choice and variety than a 'BT Wholesale reseller' which is what most ISPs are providing

I was only giving the briefest summary of the generally accepted situation as it stood in my last job, Ryan, but as we all know, the ADSL market right now is pretty fast-moving, and changing on a regular basis.

What I posted above were bare technical facts about the services we dealt with, and are in no way intended to be a definitive guide to the differences between the two types of ADSL .

I have no probs with anyone elaborating, clarifying, or correcting me - please, feel free.

I would have asked the same question as Phoenix Gav as I thought the same thing. but I have a 1Mb which costs me £26 a month and its Datastream...but at the moment its flamin contention I am having a problem with 50:1 at the mo...and for 20:1 it would cost another £20...

well not quite syntax...have you been to the Bulldog site? if you live bang slap in the middle of London you can get an upload speed of upto 1Mb if I am right...but I maybe wrong...so dont qoute me on this guys...but check out the site and you will see more info on that...
